Somalis are one of the most chastised Muslim communities in Europe.
Depicted in the news as victims of female genital mutilation,
perpetrators of gang violence, or more recently, as radical
Islamists, Somalis have been cast as a threat to social cohesion,
national identity, and security in Britain and beyond. Somali,
Muslim, British shifts attention away from these public
representations to provide a detailed ethnographic study of Somali
Muslim women's engagements with religion, political discourses, and
public culture in the United Kingdom. The book chronicles the
aspirations of different generations of Somali women as they
respond to publicly charged questions of what it means to be
Muslim, Somali, and British. By challenging and reconfiguring the
dominant political frameworks in which they are immersed, these
women imagine new ways of being in securitized Britain. Giulia
Liberatore provides a nuanced account of Islamic piety, arguing
that it needs to be understood as one among many forms of striving
that individuals pursue throughout their lives. Bringing new
perspectives to debates about Islam and multiculturalism in Europe,
this book makes an important contribution to the anthropology of
religion, subjectivity, and gender.
